Cadiz invite Osasuna to the Estadio Nuevo Mirandilla in La Liga on Sunday (December 10).

Osasuna, meanwhile, are winless in five league games and drew 1-1 witj Real Sociedad last week. Moi Gomez opened the scoring in the second minute before Umar Sadiq pulled Sociedad level in the 41st. Osasuna are 14th in the league table with 15 points from as many games.

Cadiz vs Osasuna Prediction

Cadiz are winless in the league since September, failing to score six times in 11 games. They have not scored in three of their last four home games in the league, conceding six times.

Manager Sergio Gonzalez has a lengthy absentee list. Gonzalo Escalante, Jeremias Ledesma, Martin Calderon, Rominigue Kouame and Luis Hernandez remain sidelined through injuries. Ruben Alcaraz is a doubt while Víctor Chust is suspended.

Osasuna, meanwhile, head into the game in poor form, with one win in seven games. Interestingly, three of their four league wins this season have come on their travels. They have won four of their last five away meetings against Cadiz without conceding and are strong favourites.

They also have a few absentee. Johan Mojica is sidelined with a knee injury sustained last week, while his fellow defender Alejandro Catena serves a suspension due to yellow card accumulation. Kike Barja and Ruben Pena are long-term absentees.

Although Osasuna have dominated proceedings against Cadiz recently, considering the current form of both teams, a low-scoring draw might ensue.

Prediction: Cadiz 1-1 Osasuna
